wedding planning for the wildly in love and creatively fearless
Your Chapel Hill Wedding Planner for Weddings That Feel Like You
You want a wedding that feels authentically you. Where your guests aren't surprised when the processional starts with a movie soundtrack, and your table centerpieces are references to things you actually love. You're looking for someone who won't just blink blankly at your creative ideas, who'll handle the logistics you don't have time for, and who genuinely cares about getting the details right.

Hi, I’m Kristi
wedding planner, theater kid turned logistics pro, and builder of timelines, gardens, and the occasional LEGO set
I grew up in a tiny farming town in Michigan where family gatherings were basically a full-time job. My Mom and Grandma taught me how to host a crowd, clean up after the chaos ends, and make sure everyone feels seen and cared for throughout, all of which are skills I've been putting to good use ever since. After getting an arts and humanities degree specializing in visual and performing arts, I went to teach high school chemistry and forensic science (yes, really!) Eventually, I realized that I could combine all of this into something I genuinely love — planning weddings for people who want their day to feel authentic to them, creative, and stress-free.
I've been doing this professionally since 2020, and here's what I've learned:
And no matter what, you'll never regret doing something that feels right for you and your story.
Once we've got the vision to work from, the details and logistics are where a wedding planner can really shine. I'm the person who triple-checks contracts, builds 19-page color-coded timelines down to the minute, and genuinely treats your event like it's my own. I care about the details because I know they matter. And most of all, I want to give you the space to actually enjoy your wedding instead of drowning in logistics.
If you want someone who won't judge your ideas, knows that there's no such thing as silly questions, and believes that your wedding should feel like you, let's talk!
What sets my business apart
I know how to make a great scene.
Thanks to my former theatre background, I can confidently say I know what it takes to make a scene great, from costuming and props to lighting, stage, and set design. So while we'll get down in the details, we'll also always keep an eye on the bigger picture.
We treat your wedding like it's our money on the line.
We triple-check contracts, follow up on every detail, and genuinely care about getting every last thing exactly right. Your priorities matter. If your heart is set on something, we'll do everything in our power to make it happen.
We speak your language.
When you say you want to walk down the aisle to the Zelda soundtrack or put Pikachus on your head table, we don't just give you a smile to be polite, we genuinely get it. Because we're the ones who can't keep our plant collection under control and have strong opinions about which D&D class fits your wedding vibe.

She was on top of every detail and out everything in place so we didn’t have a logistical care in the world on our big day.
Kristi was our month of coordinator for our wedding but she essentially took over all the work starting three months before the wedding which was INCREDIBLE."

Kristi was the most incredible wedding coordinator I could have asked for.
We hired her for the month of but she was coordinating with our vendors well in advance of that which let us relax and focus on other details. She was detailed oriented, thorough, and constantly delivering. Our wedding day was perfect and everything was exactly where it should be. Cannot recommend enough Kristi and her team!”

Chris & Natsumi
Absolutely 1000% suggest Kristi for wedding coordination services!
She really went out of her way to help us wrap things up and coordinate with vendors and other supplies to make sure our big day was absolutely perfect. And she absolutely delivered! She was very patient with us and very flexible with meeting and answering questions, while providing her feedback and suggestions when appropriate. "

Let's plan something that feels authentically you
Wren & Jessica
Here's the thing: you don't have to do things just because they're "traditional." You don't need a bouquet toss if it makes you cringe, and you absolutely can have your first dance song be “Merry-Go-Round of Life”. Your wedding should reflect who you actually are, and we're here to make that happen. If you're ready to plan a wedding that feels unmistakably you (and maybe a little unconventional), we can’t wait to work with you.
